Hanna has a mortgage on him. Hanna's pilgrim excursions to Can ton are an enlargement of Dudley's "blocks of five" la Indiana in 1888. Hanna, is sending them in blocks of a hundred or more, and he "pays the freight." The indications are that the finan nancial stringency will soon be re lieved ja Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Missouri. Boss Hanna says that for the "remaining days of October the battle royal will be fought in those States." ne . Kepublican managers are .4paDie ot almost any colossal or petty meanness. V The latest exhl- bitibn of this is at Cleveland, 0, where there is a scheme to hire all the halls suitable for public meet "Dgs, so that the silver Democrats can't have any halls to hold meet ings in. . " .. Mr. McKinley says he believes the fight for "sound money is already won, ' and is turning his attention .more to the tariff. It is evidently a relief to Mr. McKinley to get away from the money question. In view of his record he never did feel com- fortable in the enforced process of swallowing himself. After having Imported $45,334,500 f gold the importations had to cease because the rate of exchange was made so high that the monopolies couldn't make any profit out of the importations. How is this? They old us a little while ago that the nflux of gold was caused by the outflow of wheat. Have they quit "porting wheat? If so we may ex pect a tumble in the price. nooETANT aitsouhcemeht ; Attention is called to the follow ing Reduced Rates of Subscription to Thk Morning Star: TO MAIL SUBSCRIBERS.'

(he persists in carrying the Rev. around with him) C. H. Martin, Rep-Pop. candidate for Congress in this district, is .bushwhacking, bnt no : one seems to know . exactly where. We understand . thatr he is very much opposed to the electoral fusion in this State. Perhaps he feels under obligations to the Re publicans who gaye him that con tested seat in Congress, and would like-to show bis appreciation of their kindness by throwing the Pop ulist vote of this State indirectly if not directly for McKinley. The New York World, which seem to he verv aniinnt that Mr MrTCin. tri r&tl ley should pay some attention to it, rises to remark: "In ten minutes Candidate McKinley can write a hundred words that will put him on record in favor of execattng the aws against all who violate them millionaire - monopolies included. When will he do it?" Not this year, if Mrl McKinley knows himself. He wouldn't trust himself to make any remarks on trusts at this stage of the game. He needs their contributions. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage says, "I never have and never will turn the pulpit in which I preach into a po litical stump." But such a little thing as this will never stump such an evangelists Rev. Tom Dixon, who has an idea that he can mount a pal- pit and a stump at the same time and dispense his gospel while he is tak ing a whack at politics. , At one time Tom thought politics and Christian ity didn't mix, and therefore he quit politics and went into religion. Hon. Bonrke Cockran has become so much interested in a daughter of Sir Charles Russell, now visiting in New York, that he broke some en gagements to speak which would in terfere with his -seances with. her. AH we have to remark in this con nection is, that"? in setting up to a nice Irish girl he is. In much better and more creditable business thau in doing oratorical jobs for Hanna and McKinley.

A Bepnblleab Side Show at Whioh There Wu Very SmalL Attendance-It Was Under Control of Maaor, Melton and Other Appointee of the Po lioe Board Independent Popaliets Left the Con- : vention in pisgutt. The Populist Convention held here ycs'.erday was a fake, as was anticipated. As soon as the delegates assembled it was noticeable that officeholders and ex officeholders under Republican rule were in the majority aid any one could see that a sell-out was contemplated. The convention was organizsd with L. .'Mason chairman and R. F. Gore sec retary. The Credentials Committee M. King, Jr J. R. Melton, G. W. Rogers, Trios. Tart and M. J. Merritt reported fourteen precincts represented, and three not represented the First and Second divisions of the Fourth Ward and Federal Point township, Tbe delegate from the latter precinct, how ever, arrived during the course of the proceedings. : Altogether tbere were not more than twenty-five present. " - vl" i Mr. J. M. KingrSrM delegate from the Fifth Ward, offered the, following: To the Poiuliits of New Hanover County: I propose that as gentlemen we, main taining our integrity ss a political party, by a strict adherence to our principles, ignoring the right of any individual or individuals to dictate to.us in Our con ventional sctions. resolve as a rule ot action to be governed by the major ity vote in all our questions that may be presented tor conventional consideration and action. . I . Is the privilege of every delegate to suggest a matter of consideration, but the Derogative of none to dictate. I, therefore, suggst as a rule of govern-! ment in tbe body politic to-day that we do not nominate a full ticket, tu: make just such nominations as we may. in our adgment, demand leaving open for fusion tbe remaining offices to be filled subsequently at the option of and by executive county committee, after they may have made an agreement for fusion with some other political party, and in case our committee iau in securing fusion oa terms honorable, I then pro pose to put out a full ticket, at ail hazards. I believe that we will not be demand ing too. much in nominating to-day one legislator, one county commissioner, coroner and twelve mastrates, leaving the bonded officers open for future con sideration. Mr. C. H. Gilbert offered as a substi tute tbe following : Resolved, That tbe Populists of New Hanover ccuaty favor co-operation with the Republicans on county of ficers, and that a committee, consisting of the following named gentlemen: J. R. Melton. L. H. Bryan, R. F. Gore. L. R. Mason and G. W. Roger's, be elected by this convention to confer with tbe Republican committee in regard to a co-operative county ticket,- and that said committee is hereby authorized and fully empowered by this conven tion to make any agreement with tbe Republicans in regard to co-operation in the county that would, in tbeir judg ment, be to the best interest of tbe Populist party in this county, and that we hereby pledge ourselves to stand by and support their action. ' J. R. Melton is chiei of police of the city of Wilmington; R. F. Gore .is ser geant cf police; L. R. Mason is janitor of police, and L H. Bryan is superin tendent of streets. All holding office under appointment of the Republican Police Board. Mr. Julius Taylor argued against the adoption of the sut s'.itute. He said the convention ought not to allow, three or four men to rule, they ought to be at liberty to agree upon fusion with either Democrats or Republicans with the one that would give them the best- showing. Mr. Melton said that tbey didn't want to be gobbled up, and he hoped the sub stitute would be endorsed. Taylor said be was in favor of making nominations and if they couldn't fuse with some party on honorable terms, they should nominate a straight ticket and live or die by it.' Mr. J. M. King, Jr., said "if we don't make some nominations people will think we are afraid. We." be said. "must retain our integrity and act like men, not servants. Let principle be first." After further discussion a vote on tbe substitute was called for. Secretary Gore annouced that the vote stood twenty-seven for the substi tute and fifteen against it. About half of the delegates then left the court room, disgusted, and said they would not support anything such a gang of traitors did. The curses by some of tbe delegates were loud and deep. - - OPERA HOUSE. . Bineroft'e Megleal Pert ormanoee The Moearoh of Wlsarda. Bancroft, tbe supreme monarch of wizards, was at the Opera House last night. The performance, without doubt. was the greatest exhibition In the way of magical entertainments that has ever been presented here. The "pro gramme opened with a soiree magical by Bancroft, in his palace of enchantment. In this Mr. Bancroft introduced , numerous sleight of hand tricks, some old, but the majority new, and new charms were added to tbe old. Satsuma, the Japanese juggler, was new and up to date, This was hot the an cient chesnutty act, but one In which a clever actor performed clever and new feats in jugglery. The "Gogi of India, bv Bancroft, embraced many start ling illusions and certainly sue ceeded in mystifying toe audience. In the last act he illustrated his power as a legerdemain artist His tricks were startling and ludicrous. Tbe curtain was "rung down" on beautiful spectacular picture of the "Home of Magic" Next Tuesday night Mademoiselle Rhea will be tbe attraction. Speakins; To-Bright Hon. Cyras B. Watsoa. Hon.

The Repub licans have by far the hardest tasit be fore them, because their forces in tbe east are badly demoralized.

This fact is worrying the Repub lican managers a great deal, and while they pretend that McKinley will sweep the Mate, tney do sot sincerely believe The negro vote is going to be a sur prise this time. v bpeakers returning from the cam paign give most gratifying results at Democratic headquarters.
